Hi James, i followed your suggestion regarding the Pistes Sohpia, and i found something very interesting:
It seems that Jesus interferred into the cycle of birth and re-birth, into the set up by the “rulers of aeons“. He could do that because he was a far superior being than the “rulers“ and „“tyrants“.
He also changed the “purification of light“ , in order to save souls.
Here it is (Pistes Sophia):
“The Jesus ascended or soared into the height, shining most exceedingly in an immaeasurable light......
It can´me to pass then, when Jesus had reached the heaven, after three hours, that all the powers of the heaven fell in to agitation, and all were set in motion one against the other, they and all their aeons and all their regions and all their order....
And all the powers in the heavens ceased not from their agitation.....
Chapter 12:
„And i (Jesus) left that region behind me and ascended to the first shere, shining exceedingly, forty-and-nine-times more brightly that i had shone in the firmament. It came to pass then, when i had reached the gate of the first sphere, that its gates were shaken and opened of them selves at once.
I entered into the house of the sphere, shining most exceedingly, and there was no measure to the light that was about me. And all the rulers and all those who are in that sphere, fell into agitation one against another. And they saw the great light that was about me, and they gazed upon my vesture and saw thereon the mystery of their name. And they fell into still greater agitation, and were in great fear, saying:“How hath the lord of the universe passed through us without our knowing?“
And all their bonds were unloosed and their regions and their order; and every one left his order, and they fell down all together, adored before me, or before my vesture, and all sang praises together to the interiors of the interiors, being in great fear and agitation.
„“And i left that region behind me and ascended to the great aeons of the rulers and came before their veils and their gates, shining most exceedingly, and there was no measure for the light which was about me. It came to pass then, when i arrived at the twelve aeons, that their veils and their gates were shaken one over against the other. Their veils drew themselves apart og their own accord, and the gates opened one over against the other. And i entered into the aeons, shining most exceedingly. And there was no measure for the light that was about me, forty-and-nine times more that the light with which i shone in the house of the fate.“
“And all the angels of the aeons and their archangels and their rulers and their gods and their lords and their authorities and their tyrants and their powers and their light-sparks and their light-givers and their unpaired and their invisibles and their forefathers and their triple-powers saw me, shining most exceedingly, and there was no measure for the light which was about me. And they were thown into agitation the one over against the other and great fear fell upon them, when they saw the great light that was about me. And in their great agitation and their fear they withdrew as far as the region of the great invisible Forefather, and of the three great triple-powers.“
Jesus then changes the motion of the ruler's spheres, or path of the aeons, for the benefit of accelerated growth:
When asked why he had done so, he (Jesus) answers:
“I have changed their path for the salvation of all souls. Amen, amen, I say unto you If i had not changed their path, a host of souls would have been destroyed, and they would have spent a long time, if the rulers of the aeons and the rulers of the Fate and of the shpere and of all their regions and all their heavens and all their aeons had not been brought to naught; and the souls would have continued a long time here outside, and the completion of the number of perfect souls would have been delayed, which (souls) shall be counted in the Inheritance of the Height through the mysteries and shall be in the Treasury of the Light.
For this cause then i have changed their path, that they might be deluded and fall into agitation and yield up the power which is in the matter of their world and which they fashion into souls, in order that those who shall be saved, might quickly purified and raised on high, they and the whole power, and that those who shall not be saved, might be quickly destroyed.“
